Summary:Methods, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for improving speech recognition based on external data sources. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining an initial candidate transcription of an utterance using an automated speech recognizer and identifying, based on a language model that is not used by the automated speech recognizer in generating the initial candidate transcription, one or more terms that are phonetically similar to one or more terms that do occur in the initial candidate transcription. Additional actions include generating one or more additional candidate transcriptions based on the identified one or more terms and selecting a transcription from among the candidate transcriptions.
